Memphis Wrestling TV Report 12.01.07

----Corey Maclin opens the show announcing the Southern Tag Team Titles have been held up due to Ali Stevens/Brian Christopher split. Reggie B Fine comes out to join Corey to announce.

----“Opening the Vault” with “Frazier’s Hair vs Lee’s Mask” Giant Frazier/Bobby Eaton vs Stagger Lee [Koko Ware]/Terry Taylor. Frazier gets his hair shaved after losing the bout. Eaton/Frazier jump Lee/Taylor after the bout and remove Lee’s mask, but Lee covers his face.

----Jerry Lawler interview. Maclin says something about Lawler having a birthday this past week. Fine says that he was going to bring a cake, but it would have had so many candles on it, it would have burn down the studio. LOL That was funny. Lawler puts over Santino Marrella and then talks about his upcoming match vs Kevin White.

----White with Garry White interview. White with Mr. White beat Lawler with Grady Watson. Not much of a match. Pretty much a squash. Lawler pulled down his strap and went for the fist drop, when some music started to play. Sue Young come out and did a strip tease. Lawler had his head turn watching her. White hit him with the “super secret phantom foreign object” for the pin and win.

----Replay of the Ali/Brian C angle from last week. After they air the clip, the crowd was chanting “Ali, Ali.” Brian C interview – “You are out here with a big star now.” Tatt2 vs Brian C – No Contest. Ali jumped in and Brian C took off running. Tatt2 got more than I expected. Everyone always talks about how small Tatt2 is, but he didn’t look much smaller than Brian C.

----They return from commercial break and Ali is chasing Brian C out of the ring with a trash can lid. I think Ali had hit him, but they did not show it. Ali demands a match today. He gets the crowd to chanting “Grand Master Punk.” Brian C comes back out and agrees to a tag team match next week. Ali then goes after Brian C knocking down a skinny security guard with the trash can lid. Well done.

----Chris Lexx/Dustin Starr beat “Insane Clowns” [Bobo/Giggles] with Rashard Devon. Very rushed bout. Lexx took 2 seconds of heat and DDT double down. Hot tag to Starr. Bobo hit Giggles on mistake with a guitar and Starr pinned him.

----“Too Kool 2” [Tim Grind/Flex] interview. They had a kid’s three piece suit that they said they brought out for Dotson. Funny. Derrick King/Johnny Dotson with Rashard come out. Both teams put over the fact that Bill Rush is not refereeing this week, because of a quick count from last week’s second fall. Not sure where that is going.

----Winner To Become New Southern Tag Team Champions – Grind/Flex vs Dotson/DK went to the expiration of time. Match only lasted 5 minutes, but was real good. Heat was on Flex with hot tag to Grind. TK2 was about to win, when the bell rang.

NOTES

----Lawler interview with Fine talking about the cake with real funny…After Young did the strip tease, Maclin said something about her being Japanese – why was she stripping?? Do Japanese women not strip??...White put over Marrella also…Ali/Brian C angle has lots of heat. Biggest reaction of the show. Crowd loves Ali…Main for tag straps entered the ring for 5 minutes of TV time for the bout?? If they must show an “Opening the Vault” segment, then they really need to cut the TV show down to 3 matches…Solid show continuing with storylines, even though a lot of it came off rushed. Fine was really good this week and took nothing away from the show.
